Was Marilyn Monroe's famous beauty mark real or painted on?

Fortunately, this issue was resolved at Skinema, a fantastic site created by a dermatologist that's devoted to movie stars and their facial abnormalities. Marilyn's beauty mark was a real facial mole, and was probably erased with make-up in her early career.

It wasn't necessarily that she didn't have talent. She was restricted by the studios to the "ditz blonde" roles, and therefore became typecast, which, in turn, caused her to become "difficult" to work with in later years, because she was (rightfully) pissed off.
